Contribution for The 50 Images-Project: Still Life 5/50 ▻ For all those who knows the DFAS monsters Contribution for The Sunday Challenge: Grunge ▻ When Bad Does Good , in memory of Chris Cornell, the sound of grunge. Some PicMonkey charm added for extra grunge. I got surprised to find so much interesting stuff when trying to find out what porcelain actually is. Like most of the great innovations, also "china" indeed comes from China. What I actually tried to find is the difference between porcelain and faience. And the main difference is the temperature where the both of them becomes burned. Porcelain requires much higher temperature. And that also turned out the reason why especially during 1970s oil crises many ceramic factories settled for producing faience instead. And the blue color typical for many porcelain items is because the blue tint withstands the high temperatures best. Camera details Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 Exposure: 1/4 sec.

Contribution for The 50 Images-Project: Still Life 8/50 If you are very rich, you don't need any. If you are very poor, you don't have many. Ever noticed what you check through somewhat every time you go out, and miss if you have forgotten any of them at home: wallet, keys and the mobile phone. But if you were very rich, you would have servants to take care all of them for you. And if you were very poor, you would have no home or car to carry keys for, no money to buy much of anything, and no phone to contact anyone.

Contribution for The 50 Images-Project: Still Life 15/50 Contribution for The Sunday Challenge: Inside something Projection on a white paper. Taken with a remote controlled digital camera placed inside an old large format camera. I remember playing with this toy truck at my grandmothers yard, when I was no more than 6-7 years old. Several decades later, I discovered the toy truck again, and took it home. Now it decorates our bookshelf. This large format camera I recall seen first time at my grandmothers attic, when I was a teenager. After grandmother's death, I inherited the camera.
